As stated on the front end page – “Edgar Rice Burroughs was gifted with a limitless imagination. With it he created an entire culture for a vast planet–many races, many peoples, strange creatures and stranger plants, an entire history stretching back through eons of time, and extending itself into the future with scientific inventions only dreamed of even in our own time. His imagination was coupled with an ability to write startlingly graphic prose, vivid with color and excitement, seething with action and rich with the barbaric splendor of bygone ages”. “In Llana of Gathol, John Carter is captured by the inhabitants of Horz, one of the supposedly “dead” cities of Mars. Together with Pan Dan Chee, his captor, who has also been sentenced to death for bringing Carter into Horz, he is sent down to the pits under the city. To the astonishment of the two men, they discover the remnants of as maritime race which had existed hundreds of thousands of years before–men and women gorgeously apparelled, maintained in suspended animation, unaware that the five beautiful seas of Mars on which they used to sail are now dried up, that indeed, their whole way of life has long since disappeared from the face of the dying planet. In the dark pits too is Llana of Gathol, exquisite daughter of Tara of Helium, held prisoner by the loathesome madman who runs the pits. It is many moons and many countries before Pan Dan Chee and Carter are able to bring Llana safely home”. Condition - The book is clean, complete and tightly bound.
